Katherine is sick again with the stomach virus. This time, we called the doctor for advice. We followed the advice too, even though it was difficult. They told us for the first 36 hours, only 2 tsp. of water ever thirty minutes. (we could try crackers or toast after the first 12).
Let me just say, miserable yet effective. sort of. You can only imagine the effects of giving a cranky, sick, hungry and thirsty toddler this strict regiment. She gets better but then the parents turn into the cranky ones.
Then there are the physical effects. I will let you piece together what would happen to you if you drank only liquid for 36 hours. Let's just say... I truly believe in the power of Immodium.
Katherine has improved greatly but has a ways to go. (She has at least quit "giving back" everything we've given her in an immediate and projectile method)
Please pray that Katherine gets better soon.
Sorry if this was all TMI. (that's Too Much Information for those out of the loop) :)
